I've heard that any S** 24 hours before a game was not a good idea, that it decreases performance levels for the athlete. I read an article on this once and some athletes said that it actually helped to relax them when preparing for a game and that they performed better.

I believe the biological S** clock does kick in during the high school years and does increase emotions, adrenaline and thought processes.

Is there a way to channel this rush into performance?

Does activity during the 24 hour time frame have a negative effect at game time?

Is high school a time to prepare your athlete about these issues?

Knowledge is Power! Thank you Mavens and HSBBWEB!

I'm waiting for HotMama to get in on this one ....

That is why I gave up athletics!!!!!!!!!
Coach had a rule no foolin around 24 hrs. before a game. Seemed like we had a game every **** day!!!!!

Talk to Joe Namath about it !!

He felt it relaxed him provided he was not up all night

Barry Zito talk about this on The Chris Isaak Show...The Theory of Fluid Management

Thanks for the shout out H3...but why is this a topic for High school baseball...they have enough issues

GO NAVY!!!BEAT army!!!!!

I believe it is less significant than the emotional damage that can be done when boyfriend/girlfriend have "issues" outside of hugging and kissing...that don't get resolved quickly!

TR...I don't think anyone younger than 40 even knows who Namath is!

To understand the workings of a curve ball, you need to understand the principle of rotating bodies in a "Fluid Medium" (aka the Mangus effect). So pitching IS another form of Fluid Management. Hmmmm. This requires further thought ... there may be some significance, but, for the life of me, I can see what it would be.....

Paul Hornug said that catching the girls didn't tire him out, chasing them all nite did.

Dad04,
I think Horning and Max Magee from the GB Packer glory years discounted that 24 hour myth. They both had a couple good games between them.

I thought it was the other way around.

Performance does suffer!

How can you run when your toes are curled from the night before?

Ok gents....2 Strikes, 3 gets you banished to a men's forum where you can smoke your cigars, count your chips and enjoy the dog pictures hanging on the walls.
